A personal note from Valentine lady.

This is all the special people who had well wishes for my surgery and afterwards as welll. There is no way I can express how my heart swelled with love and gratitude to all of you. You all are very special and help to remind me why we're a family.

I am doing good, getting stronger every day. It's painful but I hold in my heart the thoughts and prayers you had for me and I go on. Their trying to kill me in therepy but they will have to do a whole lot more, LOL

So a very special "THANK YOU " TO ALL OF YOU, YOUR MY FRIENDS AND I LOVE YOU ALL.

Valentine Lady, thanks for becoming my friend. This past year to the present has been difficult for me. I joined 24 Hour Fitness so that I could go on the exercise equipment and especially for water aerobics. Just two weeks into it, I fell off the stairmaster and tore open my shin. No water aerobics until my leg healed. Just as I was ready to start again, BOOM, I broke my ankle. Again no water aerobics. Then I had bariatric surgery and no water aerobics allowed until the 6 holes on my stomach healed. Now that that has healed, a Basel cell carcinoma was found on my back and after the intitial biopsy, general surgery enlarged it and added stitches with a warning, no water aerobics until it healed. So almost a year has gone by with me being a member of a gym that I cannot use. Anyone want to walk with me, I hate to do it alone. I live in Chatsworth, CA

Hi Rebdee, I'm glad we're friends now, well officially . What part of California is Chatsworth in? I would offer to walk with you but I live in Lubbock , TX. I am with you in spirit. You have. had a year of bad luck. I went through a year like that lastI stayed out of pocket for a solid year. This year I'm spending my time trying to get back to where I was. I am wheelchair bound so it makes it hard to tegain what strength you lost.Quick as I do on I am Las Vegas bound to be with James. We're going to be married. Blessings to you and yours, Peggy
